Chapter 264 Lao Yang Is Still Scoring Points

Inside Chi Xiaocheng's room, Su Tao, after bringing in her things, immediately opened her phone without even taking the time to unpack.

Doctor Cheng, Cheng Cheng, and Si Chen.

She contacted all three, sending the same message to each.

Chi Xiaocheng's sudden change in attitude toward her tonight made her realize that something was wrong.

Xiaocheng's amnesia was definitely more complicated than she had imagined.

However, the answers she received from the three left her feeling helpless.

Doctor Cheng: "Based on what you've told me, I suspect the headache was caused by a moment when some of Miss Cheng's memories were about to resurface."

"Nostalgia is the easiest way to recover memories."

"However, perhaps her subconscious doesn't want to remember those memories, so she's resisting, and her brain is automatically filling in other memories, making the already confused memories even more coherent."

"That's why you're experiencing the situation you described, where she doesn't want to sleep with you even though you used to sleep together, and her memory tells her that 'we occasionally sleep together every week.'"

"Although she's consciously trying to get closer to you, the subconscious resistance is still there."

"If you don't plan to awaken her memories, I don't have any better solutions."

Doctor Cheng analyzed the cause for Su Tao, but didn't provide the solution she had hoped for.

At the same time, Cheng Cheng's reply was even more blunt than Doctor Cheng's: "I've always supported you awakening Xiaocheng's memories. Since you've chosen not to let her suffer anymore, let nature take its course, and you'll have a better version of her."

"Isn't it normal for unexpected things like this to happen?"

"Remember what I said before? If you want to gain something, you'll inevitably lose something else."

That was all she said. Although her words were a bit harsh, Su Tao knew that Cheng Cheng was looking out for her.

Si Chen's reply was even more perfunctory: "It's almost the New Year. Doctor Lin is already on vacation. He has his own life, so let's not bother him for now."

Seeing this last sentence, Su Tao put down her phone and leaned back helplessly on the bed.

Yes, the New Year was a busy time.

They weren't there to serve her 24 hours a day. Everyone had their own life.

It was her problem that she was anxiously bothering them whenever something happened.

Su Tao covered her forehead with her right arm, blocking out most of the light. Her eyes were a little dazed. "So what should I do now?"

It seemed like her relationship with Xiaocheng was getting better and better.

But now she couldn't even sleep with her.

Let nature take its course?

Su Tao took a deep breath and slapped her face forcefully. "Su Tao, Su Tao, why do you always overthink things when you encounter a little setback? Xiaocheng used to hate you, but didn't your relationship get better anyway?"

"It's just sleeping in separate rooms. If I spend the next few days cultivating our relationship with Xiaocheng, we'll definitely be able to sleep together again."

The improvement in their relationship was obvious to everyone.

She was just too impatient right now.

"Take a deep breath and adjust your mindset."

Exercise could relieve anxiety. Su Tao did 30 standard push-ups in one breath before taking her change of clothes and heading to the bathroom.

The water temperature shouldn't be too hot. A little cooler would help her calm her agitated heart.

She spent the rest of the evening cleaning the room and bed, chatting with Chi Xiaocheng.

Then she went to bed.

But…

She had insomnia.

She used to sleep hugging her big brown bear, and even though the sachet had long lost its effect, she could still sleep soundly.

Now, she only felt that the big brown bear's fur was a little prickly against her skin.

"It doesn't seem as soft as it used to be."

...

The next day was New Year's Eve.

Su Tao had already finished the spring cleaning. She didn't have much money to buy New Year's goods, and she hadn't even prepared many fireworks.

However, for many people, crossing over into the New Year held a special significance.

Moments on social media, New Year's Eve countdowns, all kinds of year-end summaries, and promotional events on major video platforms – countless people flocked to the "New Year's Eve" experience, seeking social recognition in various places.

Su Tao wondered if she and Xiaocheng should also create a better memory.

Without telling Chi Xiaocheng, she secretly placed a camera next to the TV in the living room, aiming the lens at the sofa, to record the scene of this New Year's Eve.

Herself, Xiaocheng, and Da Wang.

The two of them and the cat lying on the sofa, Xiaocheng in her arms, Da Wang in Xiaocheng's arms.

Watching TV for a while, chatting, maybe it would be a little uneventful, but it would be warm, wouldn't it?

Su Tao imagined the scene of New Year's Eve tonight, and a hopeful smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.

The depression from not being able to sleep together last night was swept away.

As she was thinking, she discovered something else.

Speaking of which… where was Da Wang?

Su Tao got up and knocked on Chi Xiaocheng's door. "Xiaocheng, can I come in?"

"Come in."

Receiving permission, Su Tao opened the door and saw Chi Xiaocheng sitting on the head of the bed, holding her phone and chatting with someone, smiling a little happily.

Su Tao looked around, confused. "Xiaocheng, isn't Da Wang in the room?"

Chi Xiaocheng tilted her head. "Su Tao, what are you talking about? Haven't you been taking care of Da Wang during the time I've been sick?"

Su Tao's expression stiffened.

Taking care of him? She hadn't been in the mood for the past few days.

After preparing the cat food, she had been at the hospital the whole time. Anyway, Da Wang usually went home on his own at night.

He didn't seem to have come back last night?

Oh no, Da Wang couldn't have gotten lost, could he?

Su Tao felt a bit worried about Da Wang at that moment, but then she suddenly remembered that in all the memories, she and Xiaocheng were very close when they brought Da Wang back from the pet store.

Xiaocheng's schizophrenia seemed to be a bit serious at that time, but she was very obedient because of what she said and loved her very much.

She and Xiaocheng went on dates, played at cat cafes, and Xiaocheng even got jealous because of Da Wang.

That's right!

What kind of memories did Xiaocheng have of Da Wang?

She had messed up the bad memories, so what about these good memories? She hadn't tested them yet!

Su Tao immediately came to the chair next to Chi Xiaocheng's bed and sat down a little nervously.

She planned to ask.

Um… if you're asking about Da Wang, he'll come back when he's hungry anyway. Let's not worry about him for now.

Su Tao put her legs together, wearing beige stockings, and rubbed her knees a little nervously. "Xiaocheng, do you remember how Da Wang came to our house?"

Chi Xiaocheng looked at Su Tao with some surprise.

Although she didn't understand why she was asking, she still answered truthfully, "I remember."

Those three words made Su Tao's eyes light up.

Xiaocheng remembered!

So those beautiful memories hadn't completely disappeared, right!

However, Chi Xiaocheng's next words were not what Su Tao had imagined. "After we had a fight, Dongfang Yang was worried that I would be lonely, so he took me to his cat cafe. He played with me and made me laugh."

Chi Xiaocheng's face showed a happy smile as if she was recalling a certain important moment. "At that time, he said he was busy and couldn't be by my side all the time, so he gave Da Wang to me."
